Applique Butterfly – Free Crochet Tutorial

"Butterfly a graceful and fluttering creature, so peaceful to see them in our gardens, tiny pretty and colorful flying all over. Butterflies are called nature’s angles. When I was a tiny girl my wish was to be butterfly, wished for those charming wings that would take me high in the sky. Walking down the streets and seeing these petite insects thought of preserving them forever. Today’s pattern was an inspiration from the butterfly, I have made many and they will be preserved lifelong. Speaking about this butterfly pattern, it is so easy and any beginner can hook it in just few minutes. No rounds to remember, simple, basic stitches to consider."
